Blueberry Coconut Popsicles

Ingredients

blueberry layer

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups water divided

coconut layer

  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 13.5 oz can coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp coconut extract

Instructions

  • blueberry layer
  • Combine blueberries, sugar, and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, gently press/mash the blueberries to release the juice. Bring to a low boil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the mixture from heat, press the mixture through a mesh sieve, and discard the solids. Let the blueberry syrup cool completely. Then add the second cup of water to create a blueberry "juice."
  • coconut layer
  • Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the whipping cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Stir in the coconut milk and coconut extract.
  • assembly
  • Pour a layer of the blueberry juice into the bottom of each popsicle mold. Freeze for at least two hours, or until solid. Then add a layer of the coconut milk mixture. Freeze for 30-45 minutes, or until you can insert a popsicle stick without it falling over. Freeze for another hour or until solid. Finally, pour the top blueberry layer and freeze for another two hours, or overnight.
  • To remove the pops from the molds, fill a bowl with hot water and dip the molds in the water for about 5 seconds. The popsicles should slide right out.
